i panic a little when i see posts with a lot of notes that i don’t understand
I'm fully prepared to get roasted for this take but I think more people should watch Adam Ruins Everything. Not only to learn from its facts (95% of which are "capitalism is behind like every problem in the world" and there's also an entire episode that argues for police abolition), but to learn from its rhetorical style too. One of the only things strong enough to overpower people's kneejerk reaction to being told they're wrong is the allure of learning unintuitive fun facts and being right about something that most people are misinformed about
My conservative parents love Adam Ruins Everything. They'll willingly sit there for half an hour and be told about the cruelty inherent in the prison system because it's presented in the same way as like, trivia videos. We absolutely have something to learn from that
